Prizes
Hackathon Categories
XDC Foundation aims to accelerate the expansion and development of the XDC ecosystem with a focus on network adoption and utility. To align with this focus, hackers should submit projects that provide utility to users in a real-world setting. Submissions should be built using the XDC Network mainnet or testnet, provide a demo, and public GitHub for review. The following categories have been recommended but participants are welcome to interpret them creatively and submit projects of their own idea.
🧑💻Developer tools: Build a developer tool or resource that can be used by the community. This submission should either enhance current processes, improve developer experience, or provide a public good for developers and the community.
🏦NFT base fintech applications: Create financial instruments and automate a service by using NFTs. These can be ETFs, mutual funds, derivative assets, or any other instruments that provide financial services.
💸Money Coupons in the form of NFTs: Create a ground-breaking proof-of-concept system that transforms money coupons into NFTs,. Emulate and improve upon traditional money transfer systems by highlighting the advantages brought by blockchain technology.
🚀 Crowdfunding / Fundraising Platform: Build a dynamic platform that facilitates aspiring founders to initiate public fundraisers post a thorough KYC process. The platform should oversee secure transactions and creatively incentivize contributors with rewards proportional to their contributions. Give special consideration to the KYC process, user interface, and the architecture of the smart contract managing funds.
🎟️ Token Gated Attendance Activities: Develop a system that verifies event attendance based on token ownership. Strive to build a secure, user-friendly platform that can authenticate token holders and grant them access to designated events or activities.
